I'm really disappointed with the viewership on the subject matter. Wow, interesting. My question for you is, "Why is that, no attorney/s wants to talking about property managements/landlords walking into an inventor's workspace as they pleased even though, there was an agreement within the lease agreement. The maintenance staffs are not following the agreement made. What do we do in a situation as such? Please advice.
1:15 "The individual or individuals who were involved in the conception of every feature described by the claims." The above statement is misleading (to me). The above phrase implies a person must help conceive every feature of the claimed invention to be an inventor. Such is not an accurate interpretation of the statement. The conception of only 1 feature of a claim is enough to be an inventor. Suppose the invention is a time machine time machine that allows one to travel through time. X invents A, B, C, D, E, F, G - all the groundbreaking and incredibly complex components required for time travel. Say it took X 10 years of education and 30 years of experimenting to complete his invention of A - G. Y invents a new, novel, non-obvious, although technically simple "On/Off Switching system" for activating the time machine. Say Y has a high school education, and it took Y 15 minutes to conceive of the On/Off switching system design and 1 week to prove the design. Now suppose the patent application has 100 claims total: 99 Claims claiming various combinations of X's A, B, C, D, E, F, G features, and 1 claim (claim 100) claims Y's On/Off switch. The Examiner allows all 100 claims and a patent issues with all 100 claims. X and Y are inventors of the claimed invention, and they both equally own the patent. An inventor does not have to have been involved in the "conception of every feature described by the claims," conception of one claimed feature is enough. Tip: One solution to the above outcome (if it seems unfair) is to leave claim 100 off of the patent application. Such would make X the only inventor.
